Hakai Magazine is a nerd treasure on the verge of vanishing. If you can help, we’d all be richer for it.
The effort to save @hakaimagazine.com is fully underway. So far, we've lined up commitments worth about half of what we need to keep publishing. Ideally, we want one or two more large foundations or donations to give us a solid floor before we throw the doors to reader donations.

A Pulitzer & a Peabody!! What an unbelievable 2 days! This feels like undeniable proof that Indigenous stories matter & that we should support Indigenous people to tell them. We are so grateful to survivors who shared with us & hope this means more people will hear their voices.

At first I I didn’t get the global obsession with Brownville’s Food Pantry for Deer, but now I do!
The troughs went empty this week at Maine's deeply weird mass deer-feeding YouTube phenomenon, but @nrvsaks has the story of who's watching and why. downeast.com/land-wildlife/b…

Does anyone in Maine have personal experience using ketamine as a part of your mental health journey? If so, one of my @SaltInstitute students would love to talk to you about what inspired you to seek it out and how it went for an audio feature on ketamine assisted therapy. Thx!

Writing a journalism textbook is a thing I've wanted to do for a long time. It's finally happened.
'Decolonizing Journalism: A Guide to Reporting In Indigenous Communities' will be available from @OUPCanada this fall. pages.oup.com/he/can/mccue1c…
Let me tell you a l'il bit about it.
